The jacket structure is one of the essential offshore structures for oil and gas extraction. A considerable amount of money is involved in its design and installation. So, the design and analysis of jacket structures in an ocean environment at various installation stages require careful analysis. My primary research focuses on the response analysis of jacket structure under random ocean wave conditions. The Joint in a jacket structure shows nonlinearity, and its effect on structure response and reliability of the Joint to withstand the external load is enormous. Depending on the design parameters of tubular members, the nonlinear effect may become critical, and the jacket structure’s life and stability will be affected. Considering nonlinear behaviour at joints is essential to the design and analysis of jacket offshore structures to ensure the safety and reliability of the platform. Various analysis techniques, such as finite element analysis (FEA) and nonlinear contact analysis, can accurately model and simulate the nonlinear behaviour at joints and provide reliable design solutions.
